This role is a technical leader within the Enterprise Security organization, and they should be passionate about Identity & SaaS Security functions and identity architecture strategy. As an organization, we collaborate on driving measurable reductions of identity-centric risk. This role is critical to delivering on that vision.

The Challenge

  • Stand up SaaS security posture monitoring: participate in tool POCs and deployments; define baselines for M365/Slack/GitHub/Workday/Google; build remediation runbooks and posture success measurements.
  • Instrument identity metrics collection and tracking: standardize log schemas for authentication (AuthN)/authorization (AuthZ) and entitlement changes; publish dashboards for privilege drift, misconfigurations, and access sprawl; coordinate risky events to security alert procedures.
  • Contribute and drive architecture & standards: author implementation guides and reference architecture that supports a multi‑year strategy passionate about measuring risk reduction over time. Inclusive of new technologies and risks.
